MLive.com suggests that Tatum Bell could be on the trading block.

Kevin Jones and T.J. Duckett are healthy, and the Lions' backfield is pretty full even after losing Brian Calhoun for the season. The Broncos might have interest in bringing Tatum back for the right price, although that's mere speculation. Green Bay runs a zone-blocking system similar to Denver's and could make a play. Cincinnati could also use another runner.

The Lions will not trade within the division. Bell isn't the answer. The Ol needs to start opening the running lanes so the RB has a hole to run through.

I'm so glad the Lions traded a two-time pro bowl corner for Bell..

So is Denver. Broncos are holding teams to 114.5 yds/game passing. Nearest competitor is Miami at 145 yds/game. Unreal.

There passing D is so good it makes their Run D worse. Its like the reverse of the Queens.

Looks like Denver should win this game, yet a lot of the analysts have not given up on San Diego yet.

I personally like Denver.

The Packers have the worst per yard rushing attack in the NFL.

The second worse team in that category is the Lions.

Would a reject from the 2nd worst team help us?

Here is a good contest to test Defense (Washington) Vs solid offense (Detroit).

The Lions lead the NFL in Passing Vs the Redskins 13th ranked Defense.

They (Lions - 31st) have v. poor rushing (74.5 YPG) to date and that aspect of their attack has been a disappointment, yet still about 20 YPG better than the Packers (54.3 YPG - 32nd).

Four of five Yahoo analysts pick Washington, but the Yahoo Users have decided on Detroit at this time (55%).

This again could be an upset with the Lions visiting too.

I am wavering on which team to pick here.

Washington by a touchdown.

Bell had the Denver job in front of him for the taking as well as the Detroit job. He failed to secure either. Seemed like he was always on the trading block in Denver, and he's on the block after just 4 games in Detroit.

Definite red flags. No thanks.
